Getting transformed and more functions
The world is now witnessing a technology race of new computer models against tablet PCs. Quoc Khanh, Business Director of Dat Khang Company has introduced the desktop computer model which is small with the size just equal to a notebook, developed by Taiwanese Zotac.
According to Khanh, the computer is using power saving processors made by Intel or AMD, and that the computer has integrated the discrete graphics processor on the motherboard. Besides, it has HDMI port for connecting a computer directly to an LCD TV. As such, people can turn the computer into a high-definition or access Internet directly on TV. Meanwhile, this only consumes 50-90W of electricity.
The sets of computer are priced between nine and 10.5 million dong.
Sony has introduced a new series of laptops for businessmen with carbon made cover. The laptop just weights 1.2 kilos with 13.3 inch screen and the 1920 x 1080px resolution, and with strong configuration Intel Core I7 and power media dock. This allows to connect three separated computer screens, thus creating a large working space. Each of the screens can serve a work, either to watching stock news, or surfing on Internet, watching films, or check mails.
The laptop has the retail price of 64 million dong.
Anh Nguyen, Sale Supervisor of the Australian Antect computer retail group, said that in an effort to diversify new-technology products, Antec has introduced Gigabyte Booktop “3 in 1” to Vietnamese consumers.
This is a type of tablet PC which is neat and slight with 360o rotating touch screen, a keyboard and socket which allows people to use as a desktop computer when connecting screen, keyboard and mouse.
Meanwhile, HP and MSI have introduced high grade “all in one” series which have powerful configuration, 21-23 inch screen, multi-touch control. With the new models, users can watch films, play 3G games and save 50 percent of electricity if comparing with desktop computers with the same configuration.
All is just the beginning
Thanh Tuan in district 4 in HCM City wrote on hdvietnam forum that super-small desktop Zotac has reasonable configuration and it can be placed next to LCD TV to watch high definition movies or read online newspapers. However, Zotac is inferior in terms of audio, because professional players can give better support.
Also according to Tuan, it is too early to say about the durability, because this is a new product. The price of the product is not overly expensive.
Pham Thien Nghe Thuat, General Director of Khai Tri, which specializes in distributing “all in one” computers, said that Vietnamese consumers remain conservative.
“They just learn about the advantages of the new products, but they do not hurry to spend money to buy the products right now,” he said.
“They want other people to use new products first and then give comments. Therefore, only the products which are really useful can catch the attention from consumers,” he added.
In fact, “all in one” computers have been available in Vietnam for the last two or three years. However, it is clear that the demand for the computers is much lower than the demand for normal computers. However, analysts believe that in the near future, people would shift to use the new models.
